Navigating Claim Scope For Functionally Claimed Biological Compounds After Amgen v. Sanofi
It can be difficult for broad biological compound claims to meet the two requirements in patent law that are used to “police” claim scope: the enablement requirement and the written description requirement. This article discusses the future of these types of patent claims after two Federal Circuit cases, Amgen v. Sanofi and Juno v. Kite.
